The fear of the Lord prolongs life,   but the years of the wicked will be short (Pr 10:27).

The reward for humility and fear of the Lord   is riches and honor and life  ( Pr 22:4). The fear of the Lord is a fountain of life,   that one may turn away f...

15  Drink water from your own cistern,   flowing water from your own well.   16  Should your springs be scattered abroad,   streams of water in the streets?   17  Let them be for yourself alone,   and not for strangers with you.   18  Let your fountain be blessed,   and rejoice in the wife of your youth,   19  a lovely deer, a gracef...

" The Son of Man has come eating and drinking" (Lk 7:34)...

34  “Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I have not come to bring peace, but a sword. 35  For I have come to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. 36  And a person’s enemies will be those of his own household. 37  Whoever loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me, an...
